The Best Blogging Apps

Hi Guys,

If you have a blog it is very important to keep yourself organised if your serious about it becoming something great. The best way to do this is to schedule. There is so many great ways to do this and as most of us are mad into social media these days I thought I would go through some apps you should have on your phone when your out and about.

Blogger/ Wordpress

Depending on which publishing tool you use its important to keep either app on your phone. This way if you have any post ideas or scheduled posts and need to do a quick update you can simply do so from your phone.

Bloglovin'

A handy one to have as you can catch up on your favourite blogs while on the go. You can also check up on any new followers or find great new blogs.

Photoshop

If you tend to take photos from your phone sometimes it's just handy to fix them up on the phone itself. Saves the effort of downloading them to your laptop to fix them up. I use photoshop express but there are so many different options on the app stores.

Social Media

This includes the likes of twitter and instagram. This helps you keep in contact with other bloggers and lets those bloggers keep up to date with your latest posts and pictures.

Notes

You can easily use the notepad you have automatically on your phone or you can pick from the many options the app store provides. This is one of the most important in my eyes as you could get an idea at any time of the day and you know you'll just be able to jot it down straight away.

What apps do you think are important for bloggers?

The Beauty Deli Make up Brushes

Hi Guys,

Recently when flicking through Marissa Carters Snapchat I heard her talking about The Beauty Deli. She was using one of there flawless foundation brushes and of course I had to check it out.

So The Beauty Deli are an Irish company which deal with beauty and make up essentials. They range from makeup brushes, pamper products palettes and many more. I made a couple of purchases and received them so quickly which even I was surprised at.

My Purchases:

Contour Brush 

This brush is perfect for getting that defined line under your cheek bone. The brush itself is super soft and straight that it really brings out your contoured look. I know some people are not that interested in having the strong contour line so if you like this brush but want to make it less sharp just blend it out with a powder brush

Flawless Foundation Brush

To be fair I was mostly interested in this product just because it looks so different than any brushes I have used before. This brush is perfect if you are into using cream contours as it really blends all the colours together making your skin look as flawless as ever. I find it is also good for blending in concealers under the eyes as the brush is small enough to reach the full area.

Flat Head Kabuki Brush

Out of all the brushes I purchased this is by far my favourite and the one I was most excited about. This brush is perfect for buffing foundation into the skin giving it a super flawless finish. The brush is oh so soft and because of its flat head is great for giving that full coverage look.

If you are thinking of making a purchase or interested to see what other products The Beauty Deli have you can like visit their website or like them on facebook

Blank Canvas Master Series Palette One

Hey Guys,

First I'd like to start of by saying Happy New Year! I can't believe it's 2016 already. Time flies when your having fun eh?

For the first post of 2016 I'm going to be raving about Blank Canvas's Master Series Palette. When I opened this first all I could notice was how beautiful both the packaging and the colours were. Within the palette there is 12 colours starting with a pale cream called lily and ending with a deep brown/purple shade called corruption.

Along with the 12 shades you also get a doubled sided eye-shadow brush. I adore getting brushes and little treats when getting palettes and other beauty bits because it really adds to the product. One side of the brush is a flat end (E40) which is great for getting colours to stick to the eyelids while the tapered end (E41) is great for blending the colours seamlessly together. 

The quality of these colours are amazing as they are so pigmented when applied and blend so easily with very minimum fallout. If warm/cool colours are for you then this palette is right up your street. 

The palette works out at around €34.95 and can be purchased from Blank Canvas or Cloud 10 beauty. 

Have you tried the Master Series Palette One?

Stila Stay All Day Foundation Review

Hey Guys,

It's been a little while since I have wrote a post down to work and just having a rough couple of weeks but I'm back now and ready with a list of post. I feel like I'm always apologising for not blogging consistently but sometimes things just get in the way.

Today I'm going to be raving about Stila's stay all day foundation which I swear by! This foundation is perfect if you feel most just slide of your face or ends up looking a bit blotchy before the day is out. Stay all day gives a fresh look to your skin without looking too cakey. The feel is a little heavier than other foundations, but you know this product is going to last you the day.

Stila has a wide range of colours starting from 1 - Bare (Shoutout to us pale girls) to 16- Cocoa so there is quite the variety to chose from.

When Applying I like to use the little spatula to glide the product onto my skin and then use a beauty blender to give that flawless finish. Before applying the foundation I like to use Stila One Step Corrector as my primer which makes it everlasting and tends to cover any redness I have in my skin.

The thing I love about this and which makes it different from most Foundations is that in the lid, you also get a little concealer tester which matches your chosen shade perfectly. As well as that you also get a Stila #35 brush which is great to apply the concealer with.

You can purchase Stila Foundation from Sam McCauley's stores, from there online website or from third party websites such as  beauty bay.

                        Hey Guys, 

Happy friday! Theres no better way to kick off the weekend that having a quick look at some great fashion bits! (Especially when it's payday! whoop.) 

As the weather is getting a little bit icier, I thought I would go for some cute winter bits.

My favourite piece from this post is the jacket and the boots. Even though they are simple items they can make a dull outfit look that little bit more dressy/comfortable. 

I have linked each of the items so if you think you would like to check them out you can have a little look. 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Amsterdam 2015

Hey Guys,

So I am recently just back from Amsterdam and all I can say is it is one of the most beautiful place. Myself and 4 of my friends headed over for a girly trip away. Weather wise we didn't know what to expect but we arrived on the most amazing day. It did get colder as the days went on but it wasn't as bad as expected.

We headed over on Thursday morning and left Sunday morning. We had planned to go to most of the must see tours and museums and had booked The Anne Frank tour before leaving. This was the best decision we had made because the queues when we got there were unbelievable.

The hotel that was book was something so crazy! It was fully kitted out with a smart TV, fancy sofas and the comfiest beds. Not bad for somewhere we would only be spending the night! It was called Aparthotel which is based like a hotel but the rooms are more or less apartments. Its about a 5 minute train journey from Amsterdam central and I would seriously recommend checking it out if you are considering heading over.

The first night we headed to the read light district and it was nothing like I expected. There was something a tad creepy about it, probably because it was late at night but at least I can say I've been there. The heineken Tour was definitely the highlight for me as we had the best fun. You are shown how the whole process works and what exactly goes into the beer. You also get 2 tokens to get 2 free pints at the end. This is where myself and the girls had the most fun. Dancing and singing to the music that was playing and just having the general craic with the barmen.

As well as the tours they city itself is one of the most beautiful things. All the buildings have a antique look about them and stand on a sort of slant which makes them look a bit wonky. The whole place is built around canal after canal which makes everything look that little bit more pretty.

If you are thinking of Amsterdam as a trip I would seriously advise you to just go and book it. It is as cheap and as fun as you make it and a trip you will definitely not forget.

The Travel Essentials

Hey Guys,

On Thursday myself and a group of my friends are travelling across the water and heading to Amsterdam. If there was ever a spontaneous trip, this is it.

While packing I said I might as well show you guys some of the essentials that I will have in my bag.

1. The Bathroom Kit

As we are only going to be in Amsterdam for 3 days there is no point in travel with massive shampoo and deodorant bottle and having your moisturiser take up all your bag space. This is why the travel size options are the handiest, I picked mine up in boots which had a 3 for 2 offer.

2. Downsizing the make-up and hair options

We are going hand luggage which means space will be tight. Knowing there is no point in bringing every piece of make-up I own its best to keep to the most needed pieces. This means sharing out who is bringing what eye-shadow palette and who brings which hair tool. No point in having 3 of the same thing when it's not needed and being stuck for space.


3. Choosing the right outfits

It's hard to choose with this time of year because we don't know what kind of weather to expect. Is it going to be the same as at home? Is it going to ice cold? I've decided to just bring what I would wear at home. Hopefully it'll be the right choice! Also I'm keeping it to what is needed. Recently me and some of the girls jetted to Santa Ponsa and I for one can say I definitely over-packed and did not wear half the stuff I brought.

                                     What would be your travel tips for anyone heading off?
